The UK is set to sizzle as temperatures soar as high as 28C on what is expected to be the hottest April day in nearly 70 years.
Parts of London and the South East will see the mercury surge as a warm blast sweeps across Britain from the Azores off the Portuguese coast.
Low pressure over western Europe is set to make things even warmer, forecasters said.
Meteorologist Alex Burkill said: “There’s a fairly good chance of 28C, there’s about a 60 per cent chance.
The soaring temperatures are more than double the average temperature for April which sits at 11.4C.
